If you are adjusting valves with eng running get a piece of cardboard, cut a strip bout 7in by what distance needed to stick in the head by the bottom valve cover rail and bend around the curve in both ends of the head bou 2in. I usually use the cardboard piece that valve cover gaskets come in, only have the valve cover off the side I'm adjusting, not very messy at all.

NO need at all to adjust hydraulic with engine running, IF you follow the factory procedure.
